Seattle Times
Northwest Film Forum will host a special celebration of and fitting tribute to the great entertainer and popular music icon Michael Jackson who passed away on June 25th at the age of 50. His greatest music videos from the late-’70s and ’80s will be shown in the cinema (and cranked up loud). NWFF will also show excerpts of a 1968 performance of the Jackson 5, his performance in the 1978 musical “The Wiz,” the unavailable 1983 documentary “The Making Of Michael Jackson’s Thriller” and the 1983 TV performance that introduced the “moonwalk.” Refreshments will be available in the cinema, and all ages are welcome. Join us raising a glass to the one and only King of Pop, seeing Michael’s moves in action, and shaking a behind to the music that moved the world. (Seating is limited. Tickets can be purchased in advance at http://www.nwfilmforum.org and we suggest arriving early.)
